Last post he had the favour of the recipient's of the 5th instant, and the same day he wrote to Mr. Price to acquaint 'him' with Lady Teynte['s] and your resolution. He expected to hear from the recipient that London was expensive. He will do all he can to send the recipient a bill by the time the recipient writes next on that account, though this is one of the worst places he knows for return of money. Perhaps the recipient may be supplied in Town by somebody that would receive it here. If such a conveniency offers, he will answer the recipient's bill on sight. The subject chiefly talked upon by most is that of elections. Yesterday a rumour was spread here that Mr. Gwyn of Taliaris would oppose Sir Nicholas for Carmarthenshire, encouraged they say by the Duke of Bolton. He cannot find certain foundation for this piece of news, nor can he think there is any more in it than people relate things as they would have them. He finds by the votes that a bill is brought into the House of Commons, and ordered to be printed, for the more easy compelling of the redemption of mortgage. If the recipient finds it small enough to be enclosed in a frank, he desires the recipient would buy it and enclose it, and get Sir Nicholas or some other member to frank it directed to the writer. His neighbour Mr. Cha. Lewis, they say, is made steward to the Duke Chandois in Radnorshire. Miss Williams is well, but her landlord the Alderman is far from being so. He was sorry to hear good Mr. Scourfield had so unfortunate a journey. The writer' service to 'him' when the recipient has an opportunity. He hopes the amour the recipient was pleased to mention is agreeable to all partners.
